Black Button Four Grain Bourbon
(0.75l, 42%)
Black Button’s flagship Bourbon with a bright, layered palate and a hint of floral aroma.
In 2012, Jason Barrett was a 24 year-old working in his great-grandfather’s button-making factory in Upstate New York, just like four generations of his family. But he was made for a different path. Before the year was out, he started his small-batch distillery operation in his home town of Rochester. But he is sentimental enough to have named his new rebel business after the family tradition — Black Button Distilling. Today, he has developed a range of unique products including a few Gins, their Four-Grain Bourbon, a Fernet, two Moonshines, Vodka, and an interesting "Bourbon Cream" liqueur.
Released in 2014, the Four Grain Bourbon was one of the flagship Spirits from Black Button Distilling. Where most Bourbons use either wheat OR rye, this dram uses both in addition to the corn and malted barley. The official ratio of the mash bill is 60% corn, 20% wheat, 11% malted barley, and 9% rye. Importantly, all the grains are sourced locally from farms near the distillery in Rochester, New York. Each bottle is comprised of barrels that have aged between fourteen and twenty-six months and it’s bottled at 42% ABV.

The temperatures of American warehouses are much higher, so the pace of maturation is much quicker for Bourbons than for Scotch Whiskies

Ratings & Reviews
Anthony,
Overall smooth with a hint of smokiness at the end. You get some notes of cinnamon with a little bite. Tried it neat, with plans of different ways to experience other aspects it has to offer.
Bobby,
Smooth and refreshing love the taste
Cameron,
Brazil nuts!
Roland,
I also recently discovered that this was the true #5 included in the Whiskey Tasting Box aka 12 Days of Whiskey instead of the Black Button Cream Liqueur indicated on the card.
Dan,
Really liked this. The card was mislabeled in the 12 days of christmas box. But I contact Flaviar and they very quickly responded indicating this is what was actually in the vial. I will be ordering more
